Bachelor of Arts - Business Management Level 6 Top-up (N110)

Students will already have a good foundation of business and management from their Higher National Diploma (HND), or equivalent qualification. For the Business Management top-up degree, students will be offered the same opportunities as our current students where they select a variety of practice-based topics to explore.

All Level 6 students undertake the Management Project module, which is a 45 credit module where students write a 10,500 word research dissertation on a business management topic of interest. Students also have a range of other modules to select and one important consideration is whether they would like to take a 10-week work placement to develop their employment skills, or take a range of different modules instead.

In summary, the core modules for level 6 are: Business Strategy (15 credits), Management Project (45 credits), and Marketing Communications, Strategic HRM or Corporate Finance (15 credits). The optional modules include a 10 Week Work Placement (30 credits) or, two from the following modules: Small Business Enterprise (15 credits), Contemporary Issues in Global Business (15 credits), and Business Ethics (15 credits).

The department's programmes aim to develop students' confidence, resilience, critical thinking as well as helping them master a range of soft skills valued by graduate employers, such as teamwork, communication and time management.
